That is the ASBCA's research team has estimated more than double that.
2:54:06
I was trying to give you a number that doesn't scare you too much.
2:54:10
We actually need over 200,000 affordable spine unit or surgeries trying to trying to baby step our way into some solutions.

But you I mean, that that number is so encouraging that we can get to that point in every barrel or maybe a few in every barrel, then we'll finally get a handle on this.
2:54:27
But I I have to say, This is so amazing, the advocates that we have in front of us.
